What Is genocide?
Genocide can be defined as the deliberate extermination of a national, racial, political or cultural group. There are slightly varying definitions of genocide created by various people and organizations, and among them is a resolution created by the United Nations in 1946 immediately following the end of World War 2 when the worst case of genocide in human history transpired. They defined genocide as "a denial of the right of existence of entire human groups", and also as "the denial of the right to live of individual human beings". Furthermore, the resolution also stated that "such denial of the right of existence shocks the conscience of mankind, ... and is contrary to moral law and to the spirit and aims of the United Nations." The main emphasis and concluding statement of the resolution was "The General Assembly, therefore, affirms that genocide is a crime under international law ... whether the crime is committed on religious, racial, political or any other grounds."
